Part 3 accepted

Part 3 of a series of experiments about listeners' evaluations of cochlear implant speech has been accepted to the Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education. Titled "Employers’ speech-based first impressions of cochlear implant users," hiring managers rated talkers with typical hearing most positively, followed by highly-intelligible CI users and then less-intelligible CI users -- the same patterns as in Parts 1 and 2 (both 2018), which used college students listeners. Listeners didn't know the talkers were deaf. This unconscious bias could have negative effects on deaf/hard-of-hearing employment opportunities.
